"Creative life may be flourishing in widely different ways across Europe, but the most common cultural link across the region now is a devotion to American popular culture in the form of movies, television and music." This is what Alan Riding has to say, I am not sure I agree (or do I fear what if he is right?)

WHAT
The opening of Sonic Forest ’04 by artist Christopher Janney: an enticing grove of 16 aluminum “electronic trees” that rustle, sing, whisper and sometimes “dance” in response to people’s movements. To celebrate the opening, legendary dancer-choreographer Sara Rudner will perform in the grove with colleagues to set Sonic Forest ’04 into action.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates, Central Park, New York
April 6, 2004–July 25, 2004
The Erving and Joyce Wolf Gallery, 1st floor
This exhibition documents the evolution of the widely anticipated outdoor work of art The Gates, Central Park, New York City, 1979–2005, conceived by the husband-and-wife collaborators Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Scheduled for presentation during 16 days in February 2005, the completed project will consist of 7,500 saffron-colored gates set up at 12-foot intervals along 23 miles of pedestrian walkways that lace New York's Central Park.
Mr. Wilson, I wonder - knowing you spend a great deal of time in the Park - what you might think of this project? (if you have posted on this already, my apologies).
